Hoi y`all, as I've been kept busiest lately, while I also uncovered these here too: ""Raiden Miniatures U.K"" ]
along with: ""ShapeWays 3D 'Plastic' Printing""


They're fairly inexpensive for what these provide in regards of 'details' or the like at what any are accustomed in purchases today.

Hoi, as I too shall concur upon their exquisite 'details' of vessels. I recall for when my purchases from "ALNAVCO"-(1:1200th 'scale' in mid-1970s) lacked much with theirs and these cost around the same amounts! I started off for obtaining them "Battle of the River Plate" participants and they didn't even have that 'H.M.S. Exeter', so, they substituted a 'Cumberland Class' "CA" instead?!? Luckily, there were the 'Model Kits'-(displayed below) that had become of avail later on, as they were much cheaper, and some even have alternate 'Decals'-(I recall this in particular with 'wavy-water camouflage' side-decals'! 

Plenty of the latest 'Kits' provide "Glue and Paints", as evidenced with the one shown below. It also cost much more today, than when I bought them initially even as recent from in the mid-1990s!

Is that 'Hornet' set up for the Dolittle raid?

Hoi and yes, as I also discovered that 'Kit' with "wavy-waves" all along its hull-length too. There are even some 'Aircraft' in this scale at the 'ShapeWays' site:
